a few non-work things

i like lifting and MMA, but somehow still can’t run for more than 30 seconds. after typing started hurting my wrists, i built a custom keyboard—which was probably the most software-engineer response possible. 

const favourites = {
  colours: ['black', 'dark purple'],
  sport: 'formula 1',
  series: ['red rising', 'harry potter'],
  films: ['avatar', 'dune', 'harry potter'],
}

so yes, any purple on this site is intentional.

i make things there too

i post videos on YouTube and occasionally remember to upload things to Instagram.
